On a Supposed New Species of Earthworm and on the Nomenclature of Earthworms [PDF]
Nature, 1892 IN yesterday's NATURE I find that the Rev. Hilderic Friend has again given the name L. rubescens(Friend) to a supposed new species of earthworm. This worm appears to me to be identical with Enterion festivum (Savigny), described under the name Lumbricus festivus by Rosa.

Devastating Rio Doce mining disaster sends shockwaves through earthworm populations
Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.Abstract The Fundão dam breach is considered one of the most severe environmental mining disasters globally, causing widespread changes to the soils of the Rio Doce watershed, one of Brazil's most important catchments. Given the ecological importance of earthworms to soil structure and dynamics, we investigated the richness, abundance, and biomass of ...

Effect of White clover (Trifolium repens cv. Huia) cover crop on agronomic properties and soil biology in an organic peach orchard [PDF]
, 2012 In orchards, cover crops are interesting alternative strategies to tillage or chemical herbicides for managing weeds in the tree row. However, little is known about the effect of cover crops on agronomic properties and soil biology in organic orchards ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In animal behavior, standardizing experimental protocols ensures a rigorous interpretation of the results. However, when working with multisource data, homogeneous standardization is often difficult to attain. This is the case for many studies on feeding kinematics where experimental protocols are carried out using similar but not identical ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Increases in soil organic carbon (SOC) through agricultural management can alter soil water retention. This is determined via changes in pore size distribution, namely, air capacity (AC), plant‐available water capacity (PAWC), and hygroscopic water capacity (HWC). However, it is uncertain how much soil water retention in topsoil and
